土著人民对气候变化的影响特别敏感，但在气候政策中，包括在《联合国气候变化框架公约》（《气候公约》）中，却被忽视。我们确定和表征的话语适应在联合国气候变化框架公约，审查土著人民的基础上，从随后的缔约方会议（CP）的原始公约和决定文本的批判性话语分析的影响。坎昆第十六届缔约方会议（2010年）是一个关键时刻，此后，适应成为《公约》气候政策的一个核心组成部分，从纯粹的科学适应方针转向重视地方、土著和传统知识的方针。自CP16以来，围绕适应纳入土著人民的声音、需求和优先事项的话语空间有所扩大，这反映在相关机构的工作流程中的决定文本和对土著问题的参与中。我们概述了在《巴黎协定》后的《联合国气候变化框架公约》中更多地参与土著问题的机会，并指出《公约》以国家为中心的基本性质限制了最终能够实现的目标。
Indigenous peoples are uniquely sensitive to climate change impacts yet have been overlooked in climate policy, including within the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). We identify and characterize the discourse around adaptation in the UNFCCC, examining implications for Indigenous peoples based on a critical discourse analysis of the original Convention and decision texts from subsequent Conference of the Parties (CP). CP16 in Cancun (2010) was a critical juncture after which adaptation emerged as a central component of climate policy in the Convention, with a shift from a purely scientific approach to adaptation to one where local, Indigenous, and traditional knowledge are also valued. Since CP16, the discursive space for incorporating the voices, needs, and priorities of Indigenous peoples around adaptation has expanded, reflected in decision texts and engagement with Indigenous issues in the work streams of relevant bodies. We outline opportunities for greater engagement of Indigenous issues in the UNFCCC post-Paris Agreement, noting the underlying State-centric nature of the Convention limits what can ultimately be achieved.
